Programs: This is a web-based organization using a website and the virtual world called Second Life, to reach out to those who are homebound, isolated and alone due to chronic illnesses or conditions.

In addition, we help educate caregivers, those who are healthy and the medical community so there is a greater understanding of what life is like for people with these conditions.
